We decided to go from Salta to Mendoza but we've heard about Cafayate (prononced Cafachate) which is close to the Calchaqui Valley, about 1700m above sea level.After a little reseach on google we decided to go there for one night on our way south ! Cafayate is only 4h by bus when the bus doesnt break down, and guess what ? the bus broke down ! yaySo here we are in the middle of the mountain = nowhere. The driver say that a bus is going to pick us up in about 1h30 or 2h but the bus might not have room for everyone ! And then we saw people starting hitchhiking ! Without hesitation I brought out my courageous thumb

! and I was so determinate in finding a car for us ! For me it was NO WAY i was gonna wait 2h for a bus that might not take us. A van stopped and all the passengers start running to it (even though they were not hitchhiking originally) the van took 6 people BUT us. After that everybody started hitchhiking, it was a kind of WAR going on ! everybody wanted a car haha. Another car stop everybody runs to it, by seeing this, we thought : we wont get that one ! not a chance ! But out of this group of people come out a little old man who saw us hitchhiking since the beggining, and he decided to give us the car space that he could have taken. What a nice man ! In the car 2 french people ! Marie and Florian, they rented a car in Salta. We did a few stops to take photos of this magical landscape and we spent a nice time with them, they even dropped us off at our hotel ! People are so nice :) Once we arrived at Cafayate, it was time for us to have dinner, watch a movie and go to bed as in Cafayate, nothing happens in the village at night. The next day we visited the little village which very cute with a lot of artisans shops around and also a winery as we were in a wine area. We tried some local wine Torrontes. It smells very sweet but taste dry ! Very weird. We then had a "parilla" Barbecue in a restaurant, and it was time for us to get the bus to Mendoza !
